PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(10 March 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he has made an assessment of the potential impact of the zonal electricity pricing consultation on UK ceramic manufacturers.

Asked by:
Gareth Snell (Labour)

Answer

We are analysing the potential impact of zonal pricing options on Energy Intensive Industries, including ceramic manufacturers, working closely with the Department for Business and Trade. We recognise concerns that zonal pricing may introduce some uncertainty and variability in the cost of electricity, and are carefully considering a range of possible mitigations for Energy Intensive Industries should they be deemed necessary.
